When The Hammer Falls
Sammy Hagar · Other Songs - Sammy Hagar
Yeah, dancin' on hell's ceilin'
I move to the side, I lengthen my stride
I saw the big one comin'
Oh, right now, I'm scared and runnin'
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be there
When the hammer falls down
Yeah, when the hammer falls down
When the hammer falls down
Nails your balls to the ground
When the hammer falls down
Yeah, you got away with that one
No, you listen you got away with nothin'
'Cause when the pendulum swings
A new dawn brings light of day
Oh, right now it's swingin' your way
And I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be there
When the hammer falls down
Oh, when the hammer falls down
When the hammer falls down
Nails your balls to the ground
When the hammer falls down
Yeah yeah, we always think everything is all right
'Cause it feels all right, looks all right
Yeah, but you never know
So ya keep lookin' over your shoulder, you know, watch it
Oh, so you'll be cruising along
You might walk around a corner sometime and
Karma hit ya in the face
Like an eighteen pound sledge
Yeah, hammer falls down
Oh when the hammer falls down
When the hammer falls down
I don't wanna be around
Oh, when the hammer falls down
Oh when the hammer falls down
When the hammer falls down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
When the hammer falls down
Oh when the hammer falls down
Yeah and when the hammer falls down, yes
